Abstract

In the 21st century, cities are constantly renewed and evolving. Whether they are urban designers, city planners, landscape architects or architects, they constantly provide ideas for upgrading cities. At the same time, social media has become a tool for changing how people live and communicate. In the context of environmental information flows and rapid urban development, social media data has the potential to change urban decision-making."An important trend in Internet research is big data analytics that has a focus on collecting large amounts of data from social media platforms and analysing it in a predominantly quantitative manner."(Fuchs, 2017,55~57). Social media is a business that algorithmically manipulates its users, which allows for surveillance and control. This paper will discuss how data can be collected without infringing on the rights of social media users, capturing the views and perceptions of city residents on the built-up landscape and urban development, and filtering this data to visualise it and ultimately drive urban development. Identify and understand new relationships between data and cities and understand and know cities through data. How the development and progress of cities can be envisaged through data, what types of data are generated in the course of urban development and for what purposes they are used. How data interacts with the urban space, the mobile phone as a mobile device and how it transforms our urban experience into data and promote urban development. In this paper, various social media data scrapers are filtered and analysed, and the resulting data is feedback into the city and visualised.
